Subsequently, he was awarded an NIMH Fellowship for his professional academic training at Columbia University Graduate School of Social Work, where he earned an MSSW degree in Clinical Social Work.

Warren moved to Natick, Massachusetts, in 1963, to join the staff of the Boston-based Family Counseling and Guidance Centers, Inc., where he continued his post-graduate clinical training.
